PMG Services Named a Finalist in Bristol Business Awards

PMG’s significant contribution to protecting the environment has been recognised in this year’s Bristol Business Awards.

Our multi-million-pound specialist waste management plant in Bristol processes 18,000 tons of road sweeping and gully tanker waste. 100% of all materials are recycled with nothing going to landfill. We are one of very few companies in the UK to meet the Environment Agency’s approved quality protocol for end of waste criteria which means we can sell our sand and aggregate for re-use by construction companies in applications including pipe bedding and road building.

All of the organic material goes for onwards treatment where it is mixed with sewage sludge to make Non-Pas 100 compost. Oversize material and litter is sent on to a company who turns it into refuse derived fuel (RDF) which is used for power generation. 

We are one of four companies shortlisted for the Environmental Business Award and will find out who will lift the trophy at an awards dinner at Ashton Gate in Bristol on 29 June.

'Waste Recycling Operative Required'

PMG have a vacancy for an Operative to work in our waste recycling facility in Bristol. The successful person will be helping us achieve our proud status of 'zero waste to Landfill'. Our facility recycles the waste generated by our own fleet of vehicles and also for external customers. The ideal candidate will have a class 2 HGV licence, experience of operating machinery and working with waste. This is a good opportunity to join a well established company that is going places. Please call Dave to discuss this further on our main office number.

Road sweepings are no longer a waste: as our Quality Protocol for the Production of Aggregates gains approval

We’re thrilled to report the Environment Agency has approved our ‘quality protocol’ for the production of aggregates from our road sweepings/gully waste recycling plant. This means all the waste materials we pick up by our own fleet and process can be reused rather than sent to landfill as we ensure they lose the criteria which class them as ‘waste’.

This is such a win-win-win situation for everyone. To name but three benefits, materials are put to good use instead of being landfilled; they’re cheaper for onward users to buy than ‘virgin’ aggregates; and it helps our clients to meet their sustainability targets.
